New What should have been done...
The problem was forseeable and forseen.

Why not mobilize before the hurricane struck? Some federal assistance moving people then would have saved money and lives compared to moving them after the area was a disaster.

Cheers,
Ben

New Too risky
If the money had been spent to evacuate people and the disaster didn't happen after all, someone would have been blamed for wasting the money and that would be career threatening.
